Before arthritis, I used to play an licensed Epiphone LP. It sounded just like the real classic and new Les Paul guitars I had with the right pickups. I played the Epi because it fit my hands better.

Unfortunately for me I am an engineer with 0 musical ability. It was fun to bang out the rhythm sections of songs I could.

I used to copy Slash’s guitars by removing the pickguard and round rhythm/treble switch plate to show more of the pretty flame top.

Before arthritis, I played an 1980 Ibanez Iceman that I bought when I was stationed at Ellsworth back in 1980. Loved that guitar.

My 2012 Epi LP Custom Pro Plustop is from China (Quongdong or some such place). Excellent build quality for a mostly computerized robot build. Honeyburst, but it looks more like a caramel burst to me. Beautiful guitar and sounds great with the ProBucker pickups.

I haven't played it in months. I much prefer my 2018 PRS SE Custom 24, which (I think) is made in Malaysia.
